Just wonering what everyone thinks.
I say some pick and shovel miner sampling the high,remote areas.

probly a new reality tv show will come on (gold prospecting in America??) and someone that dont know sqwat will stumbel on to a pure out cropping of Quartz/gold and they will probly have tobe told what they just found!
I picked Miner detecting....Why???....well that 9 pounder just found not too long ago should answer it...to be able to find no less then 20oz....detecting would have a better chance of finding that much in one day....RIGHT!!!.......lol 
I'm with ScottKS.
I would think the best chance for 20 ozt would be a beeper finding a vein with a lot of nuggets in a small area.
The dredger may find the vein also, but more than likely, they wouldn't be working in a virgin area.

Core sample testing would be my best guess....... 
You are all wrong.
The next eureka will be at my mine... I'll trip over it.

In all fairness, I didn't finish... with my luck, once I trip over it'll cause me to either stumble off a cliff or fall on my pick.
The nugget's value will be equal to medical bills incurred from the mishap.
This is mining science.
Good one Swizz 
I'd actually said other on my vote when this thread started. I was thinking about all the new drill results that had been coming out of Nevada last year. Some of those results were spectacular both in ounces per ton estimates (some double digits per ton) as well as depth/widths and lengths estimates of the ore bodies that are massive in size! I think those drillers were finding more than 20 ounces in a day. Not in Colorado but it's darn close.

Sweet CP, bet that was a day of celebration for them when they pulled those core samples! 
I betcha it's gonna be Scott finding the mother lode in Kansas....
He's hoping anyways, aren't you Scott?

Your wrong swizz. I'll find it by doing another face plant.
